TM-linking to this well-documented article and new “dots” on Faisal Abdul Rauf, Ground Zero Mosque “architect”
The Ground Zero Mosque Developer: Muslim Brotherhood Roots, Radical Dreams
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2514305/posts
Daisy Khan is the niece of Faroque Khan, founder of the Islamic Center of Long Island, Westbury, NY. Faisel Rauf is her husband, used to be imam of this mosque. Ghazi Khankan of CAIR, Yahiya Emerick, teacher at the Crescent school there and publisher of children’s textbooks that contain anti-Christian teachings, Yahiya also published disturbing essays. All of the above are actively involved in the “interfaith” conferences and programs. There is an ISNA connection and also an AMA connection. Daniel Pipes, Congressman Peter King of NY are on to this group. Wish everyone else would wake up to what they’re all about. Thanks Mesta.
This is the site of AERA, American Educational Research Association. You can see they're mucking about with their ethical setup, but non-members can't get a good look. Non-members can look at some of the other stuff, though:
AERA Research on LGBTQ Issues in Education
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) is committed to ensuring that sound research is brought to bear on issues of significant public policy, including nascent areas of research that may otherwise be neglected. In an increasingly diverse society, educators and policymakers face the challenge of fostering educational environments that are inclusive and welcoming to all students and teachers. Today, schools and teachers at all educational levels must consider whether the educational context facilitates learning for all youth, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or queer (LGBTQ).
School administrators must consider if LGBTQ teachers, aides, or other staff are hindered in the workplace because of discriminatory policies, practices, or comments. LGBTQ issues must be addressed at each grade level from pre-K-12 to higher education as well as in multiple educational contexts from classrooms and playgrounds to college campuses.
Through this initiative AERA seeks to examine the state of research on LGBTQ issues in education through multiple information gathering processes:
(1) an extensive literature search and review,
(2) an intensive small research workshop of scholars to be held in Fall 2010; and
(3) a broad-based call to the education research community for input and ideas on LGBTQ issues in education.
We seek knowledge and information on scholarship that addresses LGBTQ issues directly related to education (e.g., student experience and perspectives, child/adolescent counseling, school violence) or in adjacent research areas of relevance (i.e., identity formation, LGBTQ families, workplace discrimination).
AERA will collect scientific knowledge— theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and empirical—to assess what we know and do not know about the impact of LGBTQ issues in education and educational contexts. Scholars will identify research on LGBTQ issues across a broad perspective, determine gaps in the research, and discuss what future research agendas might address. From this information gathering we will produce a published report or monograph and a research brief.
It's also interesting that while they hide a great deal of stuff, they do not hide their member list: Short snip:

Pak Army Major sacked, arrested for violating discipline
Press Trust Of India
Islamabad, May 19, 2010
First Published: 16:07 IST(19/5/2010)
Last Updated: 16:10 IST(19/5/2010)
The Pakistan Army has sacked and arrested an officer for insubordination but officials have dismissed suggestions that the matter was linked to the Times Square bombing plot by Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad.
The Inter-Services Public Relations said the officer, identified only as Major Adnan in some media reports, was sacked for insubordination.
Media reports said the officer from the Signal Corps had also been arrested for violating discipline.
A spokesman of the Inter-Services Public Relations denied that the matter was linked to the attempted car bombing in New York’s Times Square.
Reports said the major did not abide by rules and regulations of the Pakistan Army and was sacked after his seniors complained about him to higher authorities.
Earlier in the day, the Los Angeles Times quoted Pakistani law enforcement sources as saying that the major was arrested for his alleged links to Faisal Shahzad.
The report said the major’s involvement with Shahzad “remains unclear”.
The daily also quoted the law enforcement sources as saying that the major had met Shahzad, a naturalised US citizen of Pakistani descent, in Islamabad and was in cell phone contact with him.
The report said another suspect being held by Pakistani authorities is a local Taliban member who appeared to play the role of liaison between Shahzad and the militant group.
The Taliban member told Pakistani intelligence agents that he met Shahzad three times last summer.
At one of those meetings, the Taliban member gave Shahzad an undisclosed amount of money because Shahzad said he was running out of cash.
The daily quoted US officials familiar with the case as saying that the Taliban gave Shahzad about USD 15,000 to pay for the attempted bombing.
DO I WANT A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO?
Absolutely Yes! I want to see some patriotic Americans blow the thing up.

home to U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East and Central Asia.
Someone tried to drive through the gate and was shot.
With a knife...
NOW WHAT????
No id yet.
You wish for things that “tolerant” Americans will not do.
Unfortunately.
where did you see “knife”?

Last month, the Dale Mabry Highway entrance to MacDill Air Force Base was closed for several hours after a car damaged the gate when the driver tried to enter the base without authorization.
A Dodge Intrepid approached the gate at about 12:45 a.m. April 19. Security personnel believed the driver was impaired and asked him to turn off the ignition. Instead, he reversed, striking a car behind the Dodge, and then continued through the gate.
Security barriers stopped the Dodge, and the four occupants were detained.

A man was shot dead late Wednesday outside MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, according to MyFoxTampaBay.com.
The victim was reportedly killed by security guards outside the Dale Mabry gate of the base at around 6:45 p.m.
He had tried to crash through the gate, armed with a knife.
Rescue personnel, Tampa police and base security were at the scene.
MacDill is a U.S. Air Force base located about 4 miles south-southwest of Tampa, Florida.
thanks; looks like they are the only ones reporting that detail so far.
per post #436-— second time in a month for that base.
MacDill is a logical target. I am surprised it has taken this long considering its location.
I had to be there for a few days back when.
